BEFORE HIS MARCH 2021 MEDULLOBLASTOMA DIAGNOSIS LANDON WAS BORN WITH A HEART OF GOLD AND WAS AN ACTIVE, FEISTY, AND FUN-LOVING BOY WHO SPENT AS MUCH TIME OUTSIDE PLAYING AND GOING ON ADVENTURES AS HE COULD. HE WAS ALWAYS ON THE GO! HE LOVED BEING OUTSIDE, CAMPING, AND RIDING HIS BIKE. HE WAS AN AVID POKEMON COLLECTOR. HIS SLY SMILE AND INFECTIOUS LAUGH WOULD BRIGHTEN UP ANY ROOM.
